Naughty Julie!!!

Well! Three days before weigh in I ate out on EACH OF THE 3 DAYS!!!! And I still somehow managed to lose 300 grams! I don't believe it. I did make good choices, but with the wine etc., etc............

Russ and I celebrated our 22nd wedding anniversary on Friday. "You don't get that long for murder!" he always says. Because the girls both had basketball games on Friday night, we decided to go out for lunch instead - just a pub bistro. It was nice, but we had to take our son Josh with us - he was home from school due to a curriculum day - hardly romantic!

So Saturday night we went out for dinner - that was supposed to be our romantic date - but our favourite Thai restaurant was particularly noisy that night, so you tend to lose the romantic feel when you have to yell at each other across the table to be heard! Anyway, the food was good.

Then on Sunday night we went out for a barbecue with the "girls" from my basketball team (we're called the Tri-Hards, 'cos that's what we do - when we're not laughing!) and their husbands. We had a terrific night, ate too much, drank too much and laughed all the time. And I had dessert(s) - pavlova, which I haven't had for AGES! and some home-made apple pie which was the best ever! I only had really small serves of each, so I was sorta good!

So Monday morning it was back on track - boot camp nice and early! I was sooooo good with my points as well, so I think that's how I managed to lose. Sometimes I just don't get it though - if you think about it too much it'll just do your head in. Que sera sera!

I was thinking about something my WW leader said some weeks ago, and it really applies to me, when I go "off track". Old "Naughty Julie" was waaayyyyy worse than new "Naughty Julie"!! A year ago Iwould've eaten a HUGE slice of that pav and apple pie, and gone back for seconds!! And eating out I wouldn't have hesitated to order something that was deep-fried or in a creamy sauce. Not now! But even when making good choices, if it tastes good you can't help feeling guilty....................
